New analysis of the HEPI / HEA Student Academic Experience Survey by Tim Blackman, the Vice-Chancellor of Middlesex University, reveals students’ self-reported learning gain is linked to:
- having access to high-quality teaching
- undertaking high levels of independent study (especially above 20 hours a week) • providing support for students with low wellbeing
- avoiding high levels of paid work (above 17 hours a week)
- location of study, with extra challenges for London-based students
- studying at an institution with a Gold rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework
